and just like that, after the first meeting, came the next, and the next and another after that. all at the same spot. jokingly , venti would yell the same thing he had said the first time they met , the two men doubling over laughing. every single time they met, they just clicked. talking for hours and hours without end, no awkward silence ever.
both the young men found each others company calming. the fact that they were both just a call away and that unconditionally , somehow they both cared for each other. it was no surprise that slowly , they both started to fall for each other. venti , with xiao's charm and his smile. xiao , with venti's voice and his caring heart. and somehow , they both ended up confessing on the same date. the same way , with flowers while taking a stroll in the park.
" oh my god ! i can't believe you ! we both got the same flowers , what kind of a coincidence is this ? " venti laughed , doubling over from how much his stomach hurt from laughter. xiao too , was laughing as they both realized the similarities in their confession , and the fact they both whipped out the flowers at the exact same time.
swapping flowers , they spent the rest of that walk holding hands. and just like that , the both of them were convinced that this was fate. somehow , in some stupid way , they had both met the soulmates they were to spend the rest of their lives with. of course , their relationship came with ups and downs. just like any normal relationship , they had disagreements , but at the end of the day , the both of them knew that no matter what , "he is the one i want to grow old with. the one i want to spend the rest of my life with. "
as they take their annual spring walk , on the exact date that they met , they tie a little red string around their pinky , to remind themselves that they were both each others fate , and they wouldn't have it any other way.
